[Bug]: aws_cloudwatch_event_target Cross-Region

[pixie79]

Terraform Core Version

1.3.9

AWS Provider Version

4.67.0

Affected Resource(s)

aws_cloudwatch_event_target

Expected Behavior

I should be able to replicate events from a bus in one region to a bus in another using the bus ARN as a target

Actual Behavior

creating EventBridge Target (arn:aws:events:af-south-1::event-bus/ ): ValidationException: Cross-region api call is not allowed.

This was allowed when I added the target manually via the console.

Relevant Error/Panic Output Snippet
